THE STORY

It's Wednesday, and Daniel is forty minutes late, for the second time this week. At six, in the lift, Paula asks him how he gets to work. She has taken the metro for ten years. The next morning, Daniel tries it, and at Central station somebody calls his name. This is the conversation you'll be able to say by the end of the lesson.
